Which of the following would be considered a strategic sourcing activity?

  1. an office ordering copier paper
  2. a bakery ordering eggs
  3. a factory ordering a new machine
  4. a restaurant ordering plastic cups

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

a factory ordering a new machine is the correct answer. Strategic sourcing is for high value, high risk items. The other options given are tactical sourcing as they are low value (eggs, paper and plastic cups).

See p.3 for the differences between tactical and strategic sourcing



What type of relationship should a buyer seek when making strategic sourcing for their business?

  1. transactional
  2. collaborative
  3. arms-length
  4. partnership

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The buyer should seek a 'collaborative' relationship. Transactional and arms-length relationships are more suited to tactical sourcing. Partnerships are reserved for joint-ventures.

  2. cereal bars and biscuits
  3. cleaning
  4. facilities management

i have a lot of experience but what comes in the exam is totally different from the practical day to day tasks. so i thought i would rather rely on these brain dumps rather failing the exam.
